Othello

Othello is perhaps Shakespeare's finest tragedy. Dealing with racism, jealousy and revenge the characters are some of the best ever written for the stage. The production is part of the Hills Shakespeare Anniversary Festival at Marloo Theatre. Othello is a KADS production but all performances and some rehearsals will be at the Marloo Theatre in Darlington. Production Dates: 1st – 26th April 2014 (running with two other Shakespeare productions – 10 performances for each). Rehearsals will commence in December, one rehearsal per week (except Xmas/New Years), until January 2014 when rehearsals will be 3 times per week, including one day at the weekend.
